Dr. Lajoie reviewed in complete detail my previous tests . She quickly understood my problems. She immediately devised a plan of action I agreed to and understood. She engendered confidence in her intelligence and experience to handle my problems. In addition she had a caring manner. She listened to my concerns and my research and incorporated them into her diagnosis and prognosis for care. Dr. Lajoie followed through within 24 hrs on all the tests and procedures I had and explained to me the findings. Within one week of meeting her, I had a new and comprehensive understanding of my condition. She made a plan for the future. In short, Dr. Lajoie is terrific.

This was my first visit as a new patient. My only suggestion is for a follow up call from the office to provide test results and see if I had any questions. Also, I requested hard copies of all results and have not received them.
